Short stories.
O beautiful co-spirit
When the crow turns white
The kindness of birds
The air of the times
Candido's revolution
My tender tender
My father's Australia
Naming the flowers
The sleep of apples
My love, my nerūsē
Singing back
Grandma owl
Angels
Ode to joy
"An oriole sings to a dying father. A bleeding-heart dove saves the day. A crow wakes a woman's resolve. Owls help a boy endure isolation. Cockatoos attend the laying of the dead. Always there are birds in these linked stories that pay homage to kindness and the kinship among women and the planet. From Australia to the Philippines, across cultures and species, kindness inspires resilience amidst loss and grief. Being together ignites resistance against violence. We pull through in the company of others."-- Publisher's page
